Ube, Industrial port city in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
The city spans 286 square kilometers along the Seto Inland Sea, featuring a network of rivers including the Koto and Ariho systems.
Ube transformed from a village to a city in 1921, later enduring substantial damage during World War II with 254 casualties from air raids.
The city maintains educational partnerships through Ube Frontier University and Yamaguchi University, contributing to academic development in the region.
The municipal government structure includes a directly elected mayor working alongside a 28-member city council to manage local affairs.
